✨ MEET THE TEAM ✨

We’re delighted to welcome Rachel to Veterinary Rehab North West 💙 She’ll be joining us in Southport, offering appointments including weekday evenings and Saturdays to help provide more flexible options for our clients.

🌟 A little bit about Rachel…

Hello, I’m Rachel, a Registered Veterinary Nurse who qualified in 2020, with over seven years of experience working in small animal practice. I am also a fully qualified and insured Veterinary Physiotherapist, having completed an MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy at the University of Nottingham. I am a member of the National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists (NAVP) and am dedicated to providing evidence-based, patient-centred physiotherapy and rehabilitation programmes.

I have a special interest in canine physiotherapy and enjoy supporting dogs through post-operative recovery, injury rehabilitation, long-term musculoskeletal conditions, and helping active or working dogs perform at their best. I work closely with vets to create tailored, evidence-based treatment plans, always focusing on improving comfort, movement, and quality of life.

Having grown up with dogs and horses, and with a background in competitive showjumping, I bring a real understanding of both family pets and athletic animals. This allows me to take a calm, compassionate, and holistic approach to every patient I treat.

Outside of work, I’m a proud mum to a young baby boy and love spending time outdoors with my family where we are usually exploring new walks with our dogs or visiting the stables with my horses.

Please join us in giving Rachel a warm welcome! 👋

✨ Exciting News! ✨

I’m thrilled to share that Eve Cranston, my incredible veterinary physiotherapist, will be staying on with me after my maternity leave! 🐾🐎❤️

Join me in welcoming Eve as she continues to use her clinical expertise to enhance the well-being of our four legged friends….. as well as keeping me organised and remembering my email login!!!!

Here is a little bit from Eve, about herself ….

Hi, I’m Eve Cranston, a Veterinary Physiotherapist and Canine Hydrotherapist working with both horses and dogs. Before qualifying with an MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy in 2023, I spent several years working in the animal industry on internationally competitive yards and completed my BSc in Equine Science. I’ve also recently gained my Level 3 Canine Hydrotherapy qualification with Advanced Treadmill Certification.
My passion in veterinary physiotherapy is helping canine neurological patients recover — it’s so rewarding to see how much they can improve with physiotherapy and hydrotherapy. I also love working with horses to help them compete comfortably and consistently perform at their best.
I grew up on a farm and now live in the beautiful countryside of West Lancashire with my dog, Winnie, and my horse, Reggie.

If you’d like to book in with our Eve, just get in touch.
